Hi Kimberley

Great pics, thanks - although the mark pic a bit blurred and small - got the idea though, thanks!

I don't know too much about Japanese marks (although I am learning all the time due to this website). However, I do happen to know yours is a rather lovely porcelain cup and saucer made by a firm called Nihon Yoko Boeki.

Nihon Yoko Boeki have been going a while, although I don't know all the details as I don't own any Japanese pottery mark encyclopedias. They apparently started using this clover mark in 1891, though this version may date from the late 1910s or early 1920s. Again, I am not sure of my facts, so you will have to research for further verification.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
